Snow!

We woke up to the usual sound of the weird non-stop reggae radio station this morning. (Lazy on the tuning of the radio…) Except today, the DJ said something along the lines of “Don look outya winda! Don turn on da news!” Naturally, we looked out the window, and were greeted by this sight:

Excellent! You see, part of (in my mind at least) living in Europe has to be snowy winters. I know London may not be the best choice of location for that to occur, but you know… Anyway, we thought it was pretty exciting.

After getting over the whole mental-barrier thing, I decided to cycle to work. After all, I haven’t cycled in the snow before! (And the roads weren’t exactly covered or anything, so it wasn’t going to be that bad.) I put a few more layers on than usual, and popped out the front. There’s something strange about the idea of being able to hop off your bike and throw snowballs…

Turned out it wasn’t bad at all — Regent’s Park looked awesome! (Didn’t get any photos though…) It wasn’t even that adventurous — there were plenty of other cyclists around. Some even in shorts!
